Endowed Chair in Molectular Signaling

School of Medicine

Established February 2000

The Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Foundation established this
endowed chair to advance medical research and education in the field of
neurosurgery, particularly related to spinal cord and head injury
treatments. The gift was matched by the state's Research Challenge
Trust Fund.

A model for other states, the
Kentucky Spinal Cord and Head Injury Foundation generates money through
a surcharge on speeding tickets to support promising research aimed at
finding a cure for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.
